My recent trip to the Computer History Museum ( http://www.recursion.org/2014/10/16/a-night-with-the-ibm-140... ) had me thinking about this. I was struck by how _physical_ the exhibits are. For the most part,

If I ever start another company, I am definitely going to do this. The burden of supporting only paying customers is so much lower, and you can really focus on what's important to them.

I left my company due to cofounder conflicts and lack of traction (we had a few customers, but weren't able to raise funding and I didn't see it going anywhere). I was really depressed for a while, and for lack of a better idea st

I was at her presentation of this on Wednesday and it was great to get a peek at how Stripe does their API development, since what they've built has been really impressive. Reading this (or watching the video) will be well worth your t

I wish GitHub would add more fine-grained permissions. Right now authorizing an app like this is giving away the keys to the kingdom and that's a little scary. For a similar reason we chose to run Hound ( https://houndci.com&

Cool idea. I can't tell from the screenshots: does it show changes across all branches in the repository?

HUD navigation could be cool, but anything that takes attention from driving like showing text messages is a terrible idea and should be banned. Distracted driving is incredibly dangerous. Even hands free phone calls are distracting. http:

I read "Command and Control" on vacation this summer and I highly recommend it. It interweaves jaw-dropping nuclear weapon disasters from the whole nuclear age with a detailed account of one particular incident. It's astonish

Yeah. You can get managed hardware (for example at Soft Layer) for a much better price/performance ratio than EC2. The upfront costs are higher but the price for equivalent hardware is way cheaper. I think EC2 makes total sense for var

I wasn't at RubyConf 2004 (back then I thought Ruby was some weird Perl-ish language from Japan, not worth my attention) but for my RailsConf talk I dug up some old blog posts about what it was like when DDH first spoke about Rails at

I think I mixed together the April 1, 2004 launch date and the circa 2002 internal development period. I'll update the date. It fits in better with my thesis if it came out in 2004. ;-)

If you're interested in some of the milestones along the way and the context of web programming back in 2004 and 2005 when Rails came out, I made a timeline for my talk at RailsConf this year: http://www.recursion.org/l

Congrats to the Spark team. Sad to see the Twin Cities lose another IoT startup, but I hope this positions them in the best possible way for success. Welcome to San Francisco!

Very nice! Congrats to Brian and the Rollbar team for releasing a super-useful feature.

Anyone interested in this topic should check out the book "Street Fight: The Politics of Mobility in San Francisco". It's a great look at the history of San Francisco's transit network and the political battles that cont

This looks like a solid release. Collections will make Jekyll a much better choice for a wide range of sites.

Absolutely. Outside the tech echo chamber, the economy has never recovered from the "jobless recovery" of the 2000s. I read a good point about this somewhere: renting out an apartment on Airbnb is a good way to make money now, but

Slow, dirty, delays/missing busses, infrequent service where I live, did I mention slow? I ride my bike as my primary way of getting around. It's way faster than taking the bus (MUNI average speed is something like 8 mph) and I ca

BART apartments in Dublin aren't replacements for apartments in San Francisco, but they would help workers get to work quicker, blunting displacement issues (Imagine riding the bus three hours a day for a $10/hour job.) However,

Including capital gains in regular income taxes _would_ be a tax on wealth, though, wouldn't it? Certainly more so than it is now. To avoid discouraging savings, the wealth tax could be progressive. The tax on the average citizen'

This is by far the most comprehensive overview of the Bay Area's messed up development priorities I've seen in one place. Kim-Mai Cutler does a great job stringing all the threads of the housing crisis together. I don't think
